I just bought this game and am having a problem playing.

when i go to start the game, things start ok, but when the first animation sequence begins, as the guy starts "talking" to "the master" or whatever, my computer crashes and reboots.....then on reboot it wants to send an error msg to MS of course.

I am using WinXP on an HP laptop i bought 3 months ago....i installed directx9.0 from the game but i am pretty sure i already had it, i updated my video card driver from ATI, I set all the display and performance settings to LOW and none of this is working.....when it does crash i get a blue screen for less than a second with a lot of words on it, but i cant catch any of the error messages in time to remember them and write them down.

i can tell you what files are being reported to MS when it wants to send the error report but i somehow doubt thats of much use....

c:\windows\minidump\mini110503-03.dmp

c:\docume~1\dan\locals\temp\wer2.tmp.dir01\sysdata.xml

anyone have any clue whats going on with my computer and how to make it stop

i tried calling the tech support line of buenavista and couldnt find any option to "talk" to someone, i did do most if not all of thier suggestions for performance but like i said, it didnt help the situation.

TIA
 
Are you sure that your card supports DirectX 9.0? My dad recently bought a Toshiba that had a mobility Radeon in it and it wont run Battlefield 1942. Do you know what type of ATI card you have? You might be out of luck.

If your PC is 3 months old, it should be fine. You didn't mention which ATI card you have, so I'm assuming it's a Radeon of some type.

Grab the latest Tron 2.0 patch from the publisher here. Several ATI fixes are in place in the new revision.
 
no i do not know if my card supports 9.0 but i had been told by a friend that if i DL'd the latest ATI driver that IT would support 9.0 and thats what i did....but still no help.....
 
quickwrench,
i loaded the tron software and i got 10 seconds more into the animation sequence but it still crashed....

man i am getting quite fed up with this 50 dollar piece of software....i dont get it, new computer new game and no workie!

btw i emailed you with respect to your car :)

If its crashing during the animation sequence, then its probably not the graphics card. If it was the graphics card, then it wouldnt load at all. Probably something else, though im not sure what it could be.
